Dead Size edition by Sawney Hatton Literature Fiction eBooks

A lot of potential for a book about a man who returns to his family home, to live by himself and finds it occupied by a tribe of little people.

Unfortunately that story line is only minor piece of the background. I got 7% into the book, there the author decides we need a detailed description of Gulliver's ride to work on the city bus and his pointless discussions with the bus driver.

To much pointless filler, to continue reading.

Dead Size edition by Sawney Hatton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

** spoiler alert ** I have never been so disappointed in a story. When I read the synopsis I'm not even sure what caught my eye. Reader beware of advertisements. This review includes spoilers since I am not recommending you read the book.

The story is a modernized twist of Gulliver's Travels. Dead Size centers on the misfortunes of Gulliver, a lonely introvert who shares his house with the Micronians (little people). The giants task Gulliver with the Micronian genocide. Reluctant at first he is forced to take action when the giants begin murdering people close to him. I kept waiting for something, anything, good to happen to this poor guy. Sadly, the story moves from one tragedy to the next. Gulliver's misfortunes range from the loss of his family to the destruction of his house. When Gulliver finally catches a break and rescues the girl of his dreams, she is attacked and almost raped; and yet you never experience any emotion from him. The story concludes with either a psychotic break or his death at the hands of the giants. If this is meant to be perceived as ironic, I will admit the irony is lost on me.
Other than the plot being totally negative without any wisdom or moral insight, the narrative is hard to follow. The author often times uses obscure adjectives, archaic language, and irrelevant metaphors. One could imagine Hutton sitting at a computer dropping words into a thesaurus and supplanting them into the novel. It took the momentum out of the plot every time I came across one of these words or phrases. Overall not a great read.
Great storytelling here. I enjoyed reading about his adventures with the little people. I wish there was more back story about who they actually were though. I enjoyed reading this book.
Totally engaging tale of little people, giants, and a small town. Unlike anything I have read before, I enjoyed every page turning page anticipating the next twist in the tale. I would read more by this author.
I really wanted to like Dead Size, but the book has a few problems, the most glaring of which is its treatment of women. In short, it does not treat them well. Kat, the only female character in this book given anything to do, is constantly objectified and tortured. After being left in a hole in the ground for days and then nearly raped, the HERO, en route with her to the hospital, still keeps dwelling on how much he wants to sleep with her. AFTER HE PULLS HER FROM A HOLE AND WATCHES HER NEARLY GET RAPED. That is, for all intents and purposes, how Kat is treated throughout the novel.

The second problem is the constant use of 20 dollar words. There are regularly a half dozen on any given page. I don't know if someone dared Hatton to use every word in the thesaurus, or if he just has an aversion to easily understandable words, but if I hadn't been reading this on a -- with its built-in dictionary -- I might not have been able to finish the book.

The last thing, and I'll admit this one could just be me, is that the ending kind of sucked. Partly because I don't think it was satisfying in any way, but mostly because it felt so abrupt. And it left all the secondary characters in limbo.

All that aside, it was all right. Pacing was pretty decent, dialogue was great, and, aside from the incidences of overwrought language, it was written really well. If Hatton figures out how to write a female character who isn't constantly sexualized and victimized, and drops at least half of the big words, he could be really good.
Not Moore, but entertaining. A little fond of his thesaurus, I thought. I'm going to wait to see what he writes next. It might be just what I need.
Technically, 3.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous. I enjoyed this book for the most part, and that's definitely saying something. This book is definitely not for a wide audience, but a lot of people will really enjoy it. It becomes evident early on that the reader is in the hands of a madman, and at the safe distance of readership, that's probably okay. Sawney Hatton is a wild and crazy guy his crime is turning the mystery novel upside-down, his weapon of choice a heavy hand wielding a thesaurus. This is okay. In some aspects "Dead Size" (I kinda hate the title) is a fun frolic, and the character of Boone, a competent local sheriff in the early stages of Alzheimer's, is one of the loveliest I've discovered in years. I love that man.

This first novel doesn't bear up under careful scrutiny, but for people willing to go along for a fine ride, that might not be important. I won't discuss the twisty ending, of which only a fraction surprised me, but it failed to carry the promise of the rest of the book.

The female characters are ridiculous and framed in adolescent overtones, as is every mention of sexual expression, desire or conduct. Those bits of the book could easily have been written by a disturbed 12 year old, whether describing an fictionalized girlfriend, mother, aunt, wife or coworker.
This a sort of sweet book with an odd twist to it. After I finished it, I'm not quite ure what to think. The main character lives with some modern day Lilliputians- a sweet oddball loner, until he encounters the mysterious Brobdiganians. Toss in a doomed love interest and a serial killer and the plot becomes more and more interesting. Well told from multiple well-developed characters.
A lot of potential for a book about a man who returns to his family home, to live by himself and finds it occupied by a tribe of little people.
